Everyone in our far-flung village in the tribe of Mangyans (aborigins of Mindoro) called Masaguisi knows me (fondly called Dodong) and Sofery F. Bonquin-Rio (aka Perry-san in Tokyo), we being bonafide people of such old, antique barrio. It was a rare opportunity that people from secluded place meet in one of the most modern sophisticated city of Tokyo.
That, exactly happened to me (with wife Rose, daughter Jonna and son-in-law Dominic) and Perry (with daughters Bing2, Ming2 and niece Joy). Lol, I and Dominic were surrounded by beauteous Japayukis (literally means Japanese ladies). Perry has been in Japan for over 28 years, and surely she and her family have adapted already the local culture. They all speak Nippongo.
While Jonna and Dominic had been touring us in many beautiful places of Japan, tonight (Sunday eve) is a one-night stand with Perry-san (lol), who treated us in a typical Japanese dinner. We certainly enjoyed the Japanese food amidst stories reminiscing Masaguisi of yesteryears. Everybody can very well relate, as all of us had been to that dead-end barrio (from Manila one will end up at the Pacific Ocean).
Above are some photos taken on that one-night stand. Enjoy! (Josh & Rose Blog)
